A lovely historic property, beautifully appointed and comfortable. Excellent location, peaceful pool area. Highly recommend, would stay here again in the future!
It was an enjoyable experience love the location and the decor and the pool and the convenience… The only thing I have to say was maybe a hiccup was we didn’t have the gate clicker we weren’t sure of the coffee maker, which is a Keurig and the TV in the main room did not work very well and the blinds were kind of broken in the main room None of that hindered fantastic time in Palm Springs
The location was great. The grounds, pool and hot tub we used pretty much everyday . Very well maintained. The condo worked well for 2 couples and provided everything we needed.
We had a great stay! we've been to PS many times and had always wanted to check out the cottages. The space and location are great. We didn't want to be in the mad-house of downtown so this location was perfect. the space is nicely appointed and it has acouple of outdoor patios. the 2 bedrooms are a nice size and the bathrooms are clean and partially updated . We had a great stay and look forward to comming back. Enjoy!!!!
Gorgeous and amazing!!! The pics do not lie. The space is true to its Palm Springs mid-century roots — as is the entire complex. Very comfortable with great beds. The complex is like a park and has a wonderful pool and hot tub. The hosts were responsive and courteous. We will be going back to stay there for sure.
This really is a lovely space - comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, cool mid-century modern furniture. The complex is beautiful and quiet, set off from any main road and gated so it felt really safe. Palm Springs requires the property manager to meet you upon check-in. The gentlemen who met with us was very nice and I was glad to be able to ask questions easily. Overall we would definitely stay here again!
Beware: this place takes their cancellation policy very seriously. About a week before our trip, we found out my elderly father needed open heart surgery. They refused to allow me to reschedule our trip unless someone else booked for our dates. Luckily, my father's surgery was rescheduled, and I understand that ultimately this is a business, but I was still a little shocked that they were so inflexible when I told them he would be alone and scared without me.
My wife is an architect and really loved the neighborhood and the architectural details of the condo. The home is very lighted and sweet and well furnished. On the room for improvement side: a hair dryer would be nice, the bathrooms are tiny..
This property was bright, spacious & clean. We liked the location & found it to be quiet and comfortable. Extremely well stocked for an extended stay. Our only disappointment was that the pool, which was under construction and listed as being completed by December 31st, was not open all month due to continued construction. We were not informed of this in advance of our arrival.
